•HAPPY A N N I V E R S A R Y 1

Why the cake and candles? The Kendall Park News celebrates its second anniversary this month. Plenty of things last two years:

Oriental poppiesSome Congressmen730 one-a-day vitamin pillsElephant pregnanciesPressed gardenias from the junior prom

Now there are fields of poppies -- herds of elephants -- quorums of Congressmen. But the Kendall Park News, we feel, is rather unique. Because the service it performs, the market it serves, is a unique one.

The' Kendall Park News is the only independent voice, speaking in and for the Kendall Park community -- presenting a comprehensive review of the month’ s events -- interpreting significant problems within that community.

And there has been a need for such a voice over the past two years. Our growing numbers of subscribers and advertisers (our subscrip­tion list has now hit the 1000-mark) seem to indicate that this need will continue for some time.

On this occasion, then, our best wishes to all poppies, all Congress­men, all elephant mothers now extant. Our best wishes that they may not simply survive -- that they may prevail I And humor us if we start busting balloons (editorially speaking).

It’ s our second anniversary. We never had one before.

THE S O U N D AND THE FURYThe School Budget election orought forth a lively interchange of leaf­lets by township citizens, both for and against. An anonymous leaf­let asking voters to reject the bud­get was distributed in Kendall Park on the morning of the first election. The pro-budget forces managed an answer to the first anonymous leaflet by quickly summoning available housewives on the afternoon of February 9th and getting out a signed mimeo­graphed leaflet to Kendall Park­ers before the 5 PM voting dead­line. (A cranky but functioning mimeograph machine is owned and operated by a pro-budget Kendall Park resident.)

The February 23rd leaflet cam­paign was less harried. The pro- budget forces distributed a fact sheet in Kendall Park the day be­fore election, and the anti-forces, this time with 26 signatures, sent out a mailing to the whole town­ship asking for a no vote. It ar­rived on the voting day.Church Repudiates Reference In Anti-Budget Leaflet: Father John J. Reilly of the St. Augustine’s Parish has given the Kendall Park News permission to reprint an article from his February 28th “ Churehweek.” This is in rela­tion to a reference to his church made in Fact Sheet #2, the anti- budget leaflet mailed to South Brunswick on February 23rd.

The objectionable statement, which was signed by 26 citizens (some of them members of the St. Augustine Parish), reads as follows: “ Forecasts -- A. Rev. Jos. J. Reilly has, with the Bishop’ s permission presented to the Diocesan Architect pro­posed plans for a 12-room paro­chial school. This would sub­stantially affect the student popu­lation.”Father Reilly’ s reply to this is as follows: “ Independent Anti- Budget Citizens mailed a leaflet to the voters of South Brunswick Township during the past week and took it upon themselves to use my name and St. Augustine’ s future plans to promote their par­ticular political ideals. This is to state that there was ABSO­LUTELY NO AUTHORIZATION ON MY PART nor for that mat­ter is there any approval now that it has been used. Our members are free to join anti-budget or pro-budget groups according to the dictates of their convictions and conscience. They are not free to use the name of their pas­tor of church to promote their particular views. Furthermore, the name is John J.”

South Brunswick police can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by calling DA 9-8000.

BUDGET GOES TO TOWNSHIP COMMITTEEDOUBLE S E S S I O N S for K EN DALL P A R K ?

After its second resounding defeat by South Brunswick voters, the School Budget was placed in the hands of the Township Committee. By state law, the governing body of the municipality must come to a decision on the budget ten days after it is submitted to them by the School Board. If the governing body does not or cannot make a de­cision on the rejected budget items within the ten days permitted, the Commissioner of Education determines the amount to be raised.On its second time around, the

budget received an even greater negative vote than it did the first time. Of the 5,424 registered voters in the township, approxi­mately 388 voted in favor of the budget and about 848 voted against it. On February 9th, there had been 363 votes in favor and 579 against the budget. Although the total school vote represents little more than 25% of the electorate, there were 212 more people vot­ing on the budget items the second time. The long wait that Kendall Parkers endured in the first elec­tion was completely eliminated with the addition of a second vot­ing machine at the Cambridge ' School.The only items resubmitted for

a vote were Current Expenses and

Citizens’ Participation Needed, says PriepkeIn view of the two decisive de­feats of the same school budget, .Dr. Rudolf J. Priepke, newly elected President of the Board of Education was asked to submit a statement outlining his education­al philosophy and the program he feels the Board must follow to achieve these results.

“ Public education in the United States must develop useful mem­bers of a democratic society. To be useful each individual must be able to realize his maximum po­tentialities. To do this he must: ■

1) grow in self-respect,2) respect others and, in re ­

turn, be respected by them,3) develop a hunger for knowl­

edge and understanding,4) be given the means by which

this hunger can be gratified,5) develop a goal - - a purpose

for his life.“ An educational organization is

serving its purpose if it provides an adequate physical and academ-

Capital Outlay. The 2 questions that were defeated: a) buying a 25-acre school site near Kendall Park for $21,000, and b) transfer­ring $25,000 from the debt ser­vice account to the Capital Outlay account will be resubmitted at another school election m May. The School Board had planned the May election to ask for a vote on additions to the Monmouth Junc­tion and Dayton Schools, and the construction of an elementary school near Kendall Park. How­ever, they will now be reconsider­ing their building program in the light of the election results.Should the purchase of land and the construction program on Beekman Road be turned down again, it would of course mean double sessions for Kendall Park pupils.

ic environment for such develop­ment. A board of education, by its policies and proposals, must ever strive to provide and im­prove such an organization. It must resist (even though it is sometimes defeated by) forces which would be satisfied with limited goals. The primary char­acteristic of a good board of ed­ucation, therefore, is to stead­fastly face toward a clearly de­fined, high goal.

“ The South Brunswick Town­ship Board of Education cannot place itself in an ivory tower or assume that a majority of the citizens will understand and ac­cept such goals; to be realized, the goals must be desired and adopted by the general public. Therefore, the most important task confronting this board,other than establishing and supporting an effective administrative staff to carry on the day-to-day oper­ations, is the explanation of its mission to the general public.It will not be enough to hold its deliberations ‘ in a goldfish bowl,’ to establish good press relations, to issue news bulletins

Municipal Budget Hearing March 9

The $419,137 municipal budget introduced at the February 5th Township Committee meeting will be given a public hearing on Wednesday, March 9th, at 8 PM in the Municipal Building. The municipal budget is adopted by a simple majority vote of the Town­ship Committee, with no general election. This budget, if adopted, will reduce the local purpose tax rate by $ .40, from $1.12 to $ .72 per $100 of assessed valuation.Of the total budget, municipal ap­propriations account for $264,074, while $155,063 is the reserve for uncollected taxes.

W h y the D e c r e a s e ?Factors contributing to the de­

crease in tire tax rate are:1) Over a $1,000,000 increase in ratables (total assessed valuation of all taxable property in the township). The tax rate is de­rived by dividing the amount to be raised by taxation by the rat­ables. 2) Reappropriation of $83,000 from the surplus ac­count (as compared with $61,000 in the 1959 budget). A large sur­plus was generated by a favor­able tax collection percentage in 1959 and a realization of greater revenues than anticipated during 1959, primarily from gross re ­ceipts and franchise taxes.3) A $10,500 decrease in munici­pal appropriations. The most significant changes in the budget are: a) A $20,000 decrease in the Streets and Roads account (the paving of Sand Hills Road will be paid for with a bank loan, and only the first payment will appear in this year’ s budget), b) a $10,000 increase in the Cap­ital Improvement Fund — its next big project will probably be the paving of New Road, and c) a $50,000 increase in the Reserve for Uncollected Taxes.

Under the state law, the township acts as a tax collection agency for both the school district and the county government. The money due to these governmental bodies must be paid regardless of the amount of money collected. In order to protect the municipality from running out of funds for its own operations if tax collections

s T R I F E I N ^ U B U R B I ACar Pool Characters

by Stanley Leinwoll

The car pool has become as much a part of suburban living as the lawnmower or the commutation ticket.Car pools consist of from three

to six men who are always tired; they are tired of getting up in the middle of the night; they are tired of spending three to four hours a day traveling; they are tired of each other; they are tired of being tired.

Like people, most car pools have a personality of their own, and any serious student of car-pool be­havior will tell you that the over­all personality of a particular pool depends on the individuals making it up.A few of the more common car-

pool inhabitants are discussed be­low. Although no pool I know of has all of the following types, there is usually at least one in every barrel.

The Latenik: is either hard of hearing, or went in over his head and can’ t afford an alarm clock. Whatever the reason, he is al­ways oversleeping, and while the

driver for the day honks the horn frantically, waking all the women in the area, the Latenik rushes to the window in his pajamas, signal­ing wildly that he’ ll be ready in two minutes. This gives all the other members of the pool at least five minutes to argue about who let that creep into the pool in the first

place, since on top of everything else he lives about a mile out of the way, all the other members being on the same block.

The Daredevil: This is a vari­ation of the Latenik, in that when it is his turn to drive he gives all the other pools in the community a handicap of ten minutes, then proceeds to beat them all to the station. He does this by doing a nice, steady 80 all the way. He enjoys touching bumpers with the car in front of him, but prefers keeping to the left-hand side of the road as much as possible be­cause there is a little less traffic on that side. With the Daredevil at the wheel, the others in the pool will frequently remember prayers they haven’t used in years.

The Dodger: Whenever it snows something goes wrong with his car, but only if it happens to be his turn to drive.

The Switcher: Calls everyone at 5 AM looking for someone to take his turn driving because his wife just reminded him she needs the car to keep a beauty parlor appointment.

The Organizer: This is the fe l­low who is always trying to get the pool to operate more effici­ently. He is constantly reschedul­ing drivers in order to save time and motion. If he is truly an or­ganizer, he will work things out at least once when there are three men driving the same morning, while the next day, no one drives.

The Siowpoke: He is very punc - tual, picks everyone up at exactly the time he was supposed to, then drives to the station at 13 mph. He is completely relaxed, talks and jokes happily with the others, waves his arms gaily, and when someone reminds him that it is getting late, he smiles amiably, and speeds up to 18 mph. With the Slowpoke at the wheel, everyone has to sprint the last four or five blocks to the station in order to just miss the train. Still smiling, he blames heavy traffic, or that darned school bus they got stuck in back of, and which actually de­layed them at least six seconds.

The opening of the Kendall Park Shopping Center offers a new rem­edy for an old housefrau affliction. This affliction, which appears most often around 4 P.M., is chiefly characterized by a certainty that the walls are folding in around the ears of momma and kiddies. This

With the approach of 5:30, the kiddies must be more and more rigorously pli~ " with the cookies to muffle the d’If momma is handy with the va um cleaner, she may even be ants in a race towards thee

N e w E lec t io n D is t r i c t sTwo new election districts have been formed by ordinance to facil­itate the voting process in the western portion of South Bruns­wick. Proposed by Joseph Rauch, Republican Municipal Chairman, the two additional polls will first be used in the April primaries.

One of the new voting places will be the Constable School. A ll Ken­dall Park residents south of New Road, all others in the Kendall Park South area, and voters in the old section west of Kendall Road between Pyne and Hodge will be in this district.

The other new area, the polling place for which will probably be the VFW Hall, will be bounded by Sand Hills Road, Route 27, Finne­gans Lane and Route 1.

P o s s i b l e P o l l u t i o n ?Health Inspector Thelbert Hunt told the Board of Health that he believes there is some danger of pollution to local wells from the municipal dump on New Road. He said that garbage is being buried too near the water table level for safety. Mr. Hunt suggested that a geologist or a representative of the State Department of Health be called in to examine the situation

The Board took no action on the matter.Dump L e a s e dThe site of the present municipal dump on New Road, between Ken­dall Park and U.S. Route 1, has been leased for a 3-year term by the Township Committee. George and Joseph Spilatore, owners of the land, will receive $600 per year for rental of the approxi­mately 20-acre tract. The Town­ship Committee planned to re ­ceive bids March 1st on a contract to operate a municipal dump on the site.To Put It B r i e f l y-----Dog census time is here.a-gain.

C a r Poo ls (Cont. from p 5)

The Coward: Since some women in the community work, a number of car pools have women in them. I am certainly in favor of women working, and believe a little suf­frage is good for the soul. I am also completely openminded about women in car pools, as well as women drivers, just so long as I’m not one of the passengers.It’ s not that I have anything against women. Matter of fact, I ’m rather fond of them, and am one of those people who feel they are here to stay. But I happen to have a strong instinct of self- preservation, and since I am rather fragile, and break easily,I prefer car pools that aren’ t ac­cident-prone.

Dr. Marchand

Dr. Leslie A. Marchand, a Rut­gers University Professor of English who lives at 8 Hawthorne Road, has been called one of the world’ s leading Byron scholars by a New York Times book reviewer. Dr. Marchand earned his enviable reputation with the publication in 1957 of a three-volume work, Byron: A Biography. Critics hailed the books as fascinating; a vivid portrayal of the famous poet, lover, and fighter for freedom; as nearly definitive as any biography of Byron could be.

As all biographers must, Dr. Marchand began by gathering ma­terials for research. With the as­sistance of a Rutgers’ research grant, he set off in 1947 for a year of adventure into the past. He went first to England where, with the cooperation of Byron’ s pub­lisher (the Firm of John Murray which has continued in an unbrok­en line of John Murray’ s since Byron’ s day), he perused their magnificent and voluminous col­lection of Byroniana. The schol­ar’ s next step was to talk with all the leading authorities on Byron and all descendants of both the poet and his circle. These con­tacts led to further papers, most notable of which was John Hob- house’ s diary in which he re ­counts his travels with Byron through the Near East. The ma­terial had never before been ex­amined in detail by a Byron bi­ographer.

Up to this point Dr. Marchand had been following standard re ­search procedure. Then he struck out on a somewhat unique hypoth­esis--when studying a man whose life was lived dramatically in many locales, one does well to go,

look and listen. He wanted to see what Byron had seen, to imbibe lo ­cal Byronic legends, and to explore letters and manuscripts left along the trail by the poet.

Through Switzerland, Venice, Rome and Istanbul, Dr. Marchand

pursued the ghost of the handsome romantic. In country chateau and city house, he surveyed the rooms in which Byron, after a night of carousing and love making “ had sat by his gin and water, writing poetry.’ ’

Then on to Greece where Lord Byron had thrown himself and his fortune into the people’ s fight against tyranny. The country was alive with Byronic memories, the people friendly and helpful. But as luck would have it, the research­er’ s jaunts into the Greek hinter­lands had to be undertaken during a period of guerrilla warfare, the winter of 1947-48. Missolonghi, where the young Byron had suc­cumbed to swamp fever in 1824,lay now in dangerous territory. But no Byron pilgrimage would be com­plete without Missolonghi, and the determined biographer, despite the derailment of his train by bandits, managed to reach the disrrial fish­ing village. In another interesting side-trek during his Greek explor­ations, Dr. Marchand followed a trail of hearsay to the doorstep of a man whose father had known By­ron and who supplied secondhand reminiscences of the poet--cer- tainly a rare treat in these latter days.

After the exciting journey, during which he microfilmed documents scattered over half the world, Dr. Marchand returned to the States to study and organize his material.In 1950 he began writing and by 1955 had produced a million-word manuscript. Two years later, re ­duced to somewhat over 500,000 words, the work was published by Alfred Knopf. An English edition, published by John Murray, follow­ed in 1958.

Prior to his biography of Byron, Dr. Marchand had written “ The Athenaeum,” a mirror of Victor­ian culture, and had edited “ The Letters of Thomas Hood.” A l­though active as a writer, Dr. Marchand’ s principal occupation has been as a teacher of English and Literature, first at Columbia University and, since 1937, at Rutgers, the State University. During the 1920’ s, when Alaska was still a voung and pioneering

.territory, Vie headed the English and French Departments (ofwhich he was the sole member) at the forerunner of the present Univer­sity of Alaska. Last year he was the Fulbr'ight Professor of Amer­ican Life and Civilization at the Universif-y of Athens in Greece.

H e r e a b o u t sOPTIM IS TSSome members of the Optimist Club of New Brunswick have re ­cently met with a small repre­sentative group of men from South Brunswick Township to dis­cuss the advisability of forming a chapter of the Optimist Club in this community. This is a men’ s service club with some 70,000 members throughout the United States and Canada. It is dedicat­ed to the principles of spreading optimism, enthusiasm, brother­hood and fellowship. It sponsors, organizes and promotes youth activities such as scholarships, educational and recreation trips, summer camps, fairs, musicals, youth safety programs and sports. The meetings are luncheon or dinner meetings and are held weekly or bi-weekly.

All who are interested are re ­quested to call William Roufberg at DA 9-2567 or Ralph Thomson at DA 9-3971.

FOLK MUSICA group of devotees of folk music and blues has recently been form­ed--its purpose is to further an understanding and affection for the many types of folk music.

They are searching for amateur musicians who play instruments which lend themselves to this mu­sic. Anyone who is interested should call Ray Burger at DA 9- 2368.

S h o p p e r s ’ (Cont. from p 5) for battle fatigue and its ensuing hallucinations. By running down to the stores, it can be guaranteed that some familiar or almost familiar face will appear, and the solace of some adult interchange will occur. The chitchat which takes place at the doors of Food Fair has several advantages over the old coffee clotch approach. For one thing, the particular house sacrificed to the onslaught of sev­eral children need not be offered

that day. For another, momma can comfort herself with the thought that she is accomplishing some chore, and need never face the real reason for that extra loaf of bread. Of course, this method makes a dent in the family budget but it is a small price to pay for mental health.

With the opening of a bowling al­ley and a luncheonette, great new possibilities for handling mom­ma’s stubborn ailment remain to be tapped.

CLOSEUPSby June Wessel

C a m b r i d g eMrs. Carr’ s second grade has

been studying community life and currently has a model town on display in their room. The chil­dren planned and constructed the roads, bridges, etc. and brought in additional models of buildings from home. The “ city” is divided into residential and business areas and includes churches, a hospital, department store and many other familiar sights. The class has also drawn a background mural for their city.

A bulletin board with samples of this class’ s work can be seen in the hall. Included are maps which the children drew of their city.

The class also presented a pro­gram for their mothers, with several children explaining the various aspects of the community they had studied -- family life, transportation, communication, education, power, business and safety and health.On Friday, March 18th, at 10:30 AM, Mrs. Yuninger’ s first grade will present an assembly prograpi for Kindergarten through third grades. At 2:15 PM on the same day, Mrs. Trutner’ s fourth grade will perform for grades 4 - 6 . Parents are invited to attend.

The Cambridge School lost two teachers on March 1st. Mrs. Marilyn Chaiken, Kindergarten and Mrs. Marianne Frase, third grade are taking maternity leave. Mrs. Height of Cranbury is now teaching the third grade class, but no replacement for Mrs. Chaiken had been named when this paper went to press.

Intelligence testing of all grades was completed recently. The Kuhlman-Anderson Test wasused.Mr. Kahler reports that with

$200 of the Western Jamboree money the Cambridge School has purchased library books and sup­plies, phonograph records and four sets of film strips. Titles of the strips are: “ The Greatest Show on Earth” (to be used with

the Kindergarten unit on the c ir ­cus), “ Children Near and Far,” “ Animals on the Farm” and “ The Fundamentals of Science”(Grades 203).

In keeping with the PTA ’ s theme this year--“ Developing Under­standing Between the Home,School and Community” --teach­ers are currently working on guides for parents. These w ill be grouped by grades and will give information for parents as to how they may prepare the child for work in school and how they may supplement his learning. In­cluded will be suggested field trips, reading, etc.C o n s t a b l eThere are now two first grades in the Constable School. Mrs. Riordan of Kendall Park is teach­ing the additional grade.The sixth-seventh combination

grade has been divided into two classes. Mrs. De Rosa is the new addition and is teaching the sixth grade, while the seventh gbade continues to be taught by Mrs. Causey.The fifth grade has started to

make plans to publish a school newspaper and hopes to bring out the first issue just before Easter vacation.

The eighth grade has been study­ing the human body. They have made diagrams of the digestive and skeletal systems and of the brain. This work precedes a study of the causes and effects of disease.P r i e p k e (Cont. from p 3) of its own, helpful as all of those are.

“ The most effective way to achieve unity with the citizens of the township is the enlistment of broadly representative groups to serve on lay committees. When given specific assignments such committees can do a more thor­ough job of study and fact-find­ing, investigation of alternatives, than can the Board. The Board cannot give away its policy-form­ing and decision-making respon­sibilities, but such policies and decisions will be on much more solid ground when based on a thorough study and recommenda­tion of a dedicated group of cit­izens. By recognizing the value of participation by such groups, the Board can generate a unity of purpose that must lead to a higher standard of citizenship.”

Seed of annuals and perennials can be started indoors anytime after the 15th of the month. Start­ing seed indoors gives the ad­vantage of earlier bloom as well as seedlings that have been raised under controlled conditions.

Although vermiculite, peat pots and sphagnum (pronounced sphag­num) moss are in frequent use, I have had considerable success starting seed in milk containers that have been cut down to two or three inches. The wax coating keeps the soil moist, encouraging good growth, and damping off fungus is controlled by pouring three or four tablespoons of scald­ing water over the soil several hours before seeds are sown.

Mower repairs should be made this month. Later on repair shops get very busy, and delays in get­ting the mower back can become excessive. If there is nothing wrong with your mower you can skip this paragraph.

D e a t h to In sectsDormant spray fruit trees, l i ­

lacs, dogwoods, and shrubs sus­ceptible to attack by scale in­sects. Scale insects are nasty little sucking creatures that do their dirty work under the pro­tection of a hard protective coat­ing, or scale. Consequently, or­dinary sprays have little effect. This time of year, while the lit­tle beasts are in the egg stage, or before their shells have had time to harden properly, they can be controlled effectively. A l­though miscible oils are frequent­ly recommended, a liquid lime- sulfur solution, one part to nine parts water, is equally effective, and considerably less expensive. One minor drawback, though, is that lime-sulfur is far from fra­grant. If possible, leave your nose in the house while spraying. Any dormant spray should be applied when the temperature is over 40°.

Edible sweet peas can be planted during the third or fourth week, if it isn’ t too cold. Peas need cool

weather to grow and develop, and the earlier you get them planted, the better.

Two all-time garden favorites, chickweed and crabgrass, can be taken care of this month. Several kinds of pre-emergent crabgrass killers are on the market. Check with your favorite nursery or garden supply store for details and prices. A dose of 2,4,5 T -P , ap­plied as directed, will put chick- weed in its proper place -- weed heaven.

Lawn care begins this month. Seed can be sown directly over patchy spots for early germin­ation. Lawns in need of liming and fertilizing (and whose aren’ t) can be worked on. Don’ t guess as to how much lime or what kind of fertilizer to use. Send a soil sample (see February Garden Column) with $1 (in money) to: Agricultural Experiment Station, Rutgers University, New Bruns­wick, for a complete soil analysis which will tell you what to use and how much. In applying lime, use only dolomitic, or ground lime­stone, not hydrated.C o m f o r t for Roots

Plant or transplant deciduous trees, shrubs, and rose bushes anytime, making sure the hole you dig is big enough to accommodate all the roots comfortably. Ever­green trees and shrubs that have been balled and burlapped can al­so be planted when the weather starts moderating. Make certain you know the ultimate height of foundation plants. Foundation plants are those that are planted in close proximity to the house. Many people put a shrub in the foundation simply because it looks nice now. Since the ultimate height of some of these shrubs can be 15 to 20 feet, or more, it is possible that in the not too dis­tant future the house will be com­pletely hidden. Who knows,may­be they do know what they’re do­ing after all.

The first day of Spring comes on March 20th this year. This is earlier than usual because of leap year day, which always takes its toll for one reason or another. Usually Spring is pretty reliable, coming at about the same time every year. This wasn’ t always the case. There was a time when you-never knew when Spring was coming. This got everyone pret­ty upset, particularly the robins,

IN THE SWIM

Construction on the Willows Swim Club was scheduled to begin Mon­day, February 29th, with formal ground-breaking ceremonies to be held Sunday, March 6th. The pool is expected to be ready for use by the end of May.

To complete the roster of 325 members, a concentrated drive is now underway. Anyone who be­comes a member before Friday, March 18th, will pay $300 for his bond, but those who join after that date will be charged an additional $25.

At a recent meeting, Leonard Robinson, representative of Ed­ward Ihnen and Sons, the pool con­tractor, explained to the mem­bers that their personal responsi­bility can never exceed the cost of their bonds. Of the 83 pools his company has built in New Jer- sey, none has failed to fill the re ­quired membership and most end up by having waiting Lists, said Mr. Robinson. He told the mem­bers that the pool can be complet­ed easily in 90 days, and a guaran­

teed completion clause is included in the contract.

The $114,000 club is to be built on a 6-acre tract on Sand Hills Road near Route 27. Swimming facilities will include a large free­form Z pool with one part to be used as a diving tank. A separate toddlers’ wading pool and play area is planned. Full bathhouse facilities will be available, as well as poolside furniture, picnic tables and a large parking area.

Trustees of the Willows Swim Club are Donald Noonan, Presi­dent; Robert Bair, Treasurer; Richard Chaiken, Membership Chairman; Stuart King, Construc­tion Chairman, and Lewis Weston, Finance Chairman. Arthur Phil­lips of New Brunswick is the club lawyer. For additional informa­tion, call any of the trustees.

G a r d e n (Cont. from p 14 who threatened to go on strike.To keep the robins happy, Pope Gregory XIH introduced the Gre­gorian calendar in 1582, to com­pensate for the error in the Jul­ian calendar, which was causing all the trouble. Now everybody is happy, and the robins, who don’ t go any place without a calendar, should start returning this month.

This is a reproduction of an ad which ran in THE CENTRAL POST on February 18th, and which I am glad to say has had gratifying results.Of course, the ad doesn’ t tell everything.

It does say something about what I ’m planning to do for the friends and neighbors who call on me for my professional services, but it doesn’ t tell much about my background or qualifications.

For instance, it doesn’ t say that New York State, where I first enter­ed the insurance field, has for the protection of the public the highest and most exacting licensing standards in the United States.

It doesn’ t say that I’m a graduate of the Life Underwriters Training Council, nor that I ’ve taken special insurance courses at Purdue Uni­versity.

Nor that I’ve held office as a Trustee in the Brooklyn branch of the National Association of Life Underwriters, which sets the standards for professional conduct.

That I have a broad background in management, training, and personal production, with special training in retirement programming.That all this amounts to assurance that my clients will have available

the highest degree of competent and ethical advice.These are a few of the things which the above ad doesn’ t say -- so

let’ s not say anything -- just ring the phone. Sincerely yours,
